Imx Pilates Studio

The only class that i enjoyed was TRX and spinning only because i really liked Libby. But as for actually Pilates, i did not enjoy it. I didn’t find the instructors helpful and they seemed a little snobby. I wanted to really enjoy Pilates but I’m disappointed that i didn’t. on top of that its overpriced and you have to get packages you cant just drop in.

After many years of doing zero strength training (due to an illness that literally had left me unable to walk downstairs unassisted or get up from a chair), my health had improved dramatically and I was ready to get back to exercising. I was looking for a form of exercise and a trainer who could understand my needs and work with me — I was nervous but really wanted to get started. I lucked out BIG TIME with Chanda Fetter and her ImxPilates Studio. Chanda was very careful to understand my weak areas and help me modify as needed. What I love about her in particular is that she’s not just going through the motions — she really cares and cheers you on. On week one I could not even do two push ups from the bar — and here I am not even three months on and I can do 15 in a row. My body is getting stronger as I strengthen my core and yep, my butt is getting firmer — enough for my husband to notice! I just turned 50 and doing private sessions with Chanda to get me started have been the best gift to myself as I move into the next decade! You’ll find me here at Imx Pilates as I continue to get stronger and healthier! Thank you Chanda and all the other great trainers at the studio!

If you are looking for a fresh new way to get in shape, this is the place. Chanda and her team are AMAZING. Not only will they work with you to ensure you are excercising effectively AND efficiently… they do it in a safe and clean work-​out environment. Every machine is thoroughly wiped down after a class, and the studio is kept immaculate. This is a lovely place for someone who has been considering working out and just hasn’t found the «right» fit… or for someone who is ready to take their work-​out to the next level!

As a former dancer I appreciate the concentration on proper form while making you sweat! IMX Pilates is a fantastic workout for all ages and abilities. I highly recommend it. Chanda and her staff are knowledgable and personable.

IMX Pilates here in Santa Barbara is the only place you need to go to increase your fitness and health. Pilates in general work great but the IMX method is the best. I started just 3 months ago and now feel better than I have in years. Whether you are already fit or were like me and wanted to get in better shape and health you need to come try it out. The best thing is you just show up for class the stellar staff put you through your paces. You don’t have to worry about what exercise to do next. Also once you are confirmed in a class your in, no showing up super early hoping. I you are all wanting to look and feel better go see Chanda at IMX SB.

I just moved to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles and have been an SPX junkie for the past 3 years. When I moved here, I first started looking at Fit Buddha and Pulse Fitness, but then I stumbled upon IMX Pilates Studio and I loved the variety of classes they offered. It was everything I had been looking for from reformer pilates, TRX (which I’ve been wanting to try), yoga, spinning (my other 2 addictions), and traditional mat pilates. At first I was afraid that the reformer pilates wouldn’t be as good of a workout as SPX, but boy was I wrong! My first class with Chanda was truly eye openiing. While many of the exercises are similar, the breathing technique makes this workout so much more effective. Chanda is amazing and really knows her stuff! I took her Barre class and that was much harder than I thought it would be too. Needless to say I’ve found a new home at IMX Pilates and couldn’t be happier.

I’ve been looking for a way to strengthen my body for an active life style. I knew I needed to strengthen my core and upper body and this… IMX it the perfect match! Clear hands on training, and a place I feel I can really create the results I’m looking for. All ages are getting results and I’m so happy to have found it! I highly recommend IMX Pilates.

I have being going to IMX Pilates Studio for over 3 years and I love it! The staff is very knowledgeable and fun and the workouts are to die for! I always love that they are always changing up the classes the music and the workouts. If you want to get a great workout this is the place for you.

This was my first time trying Imx Pilates… I have done reformer Pilates, but nothing compares to Imx in Santa Barbara! It was such an amazing workout and it was only an introductory session, so I can only imagine what a full blown class will be like! I had a one on one session with Chanda and she was absolutely amazing! She walked me thoroughly through each exercise and explained clearly/​effectively how to properly execute each movement and focus on my breathing to gain maximum benefit during the entire hour. I felt the burn throughout my whole body the full session. Chanda was super friendly and made me feel really comfortable learning this new exercise. I really enjoyed my session with her! Imx Pilates was definitely more intense than I had anticipated and exactly what I am looking for in a workout. I also love that the studio offers a variety of other classes, spinning, TRX, yoga, etc. Really great studio, can’t wait to go back!

I love IMX Pilates studio. Best place in SB. Awesome workout! My favorite is Amber’s spin class. She has the best music and keeps the class going. I absolutely love IMX Santa Barbara.

I have been working out for 30 years and IMX Pilates is the best yet! You have everything in one studio: spinning, pilates — mat and reformer, yoga, strength training plus an exceptional staff. No more struggling in classes of 30 – 40 people not knowing if your technique is correct or not. Plus the clientele is so friendly. It doesn’t matter if you are just a beginner or someone like me who has enjoyed exercise for years, everyone is welcome and successful. And the results are amazing. I have never looked or felt better!

I love IMX Pilates Studio. I am a fairly new member and feel very comfortable and welcome. Chanda and all the staff are all very knowledgable, encouraging and supportive. The small classes are less intimidating for me and allow the instructors to attend to everyone’s individual needs. The online sign-​up process is convenient for my busy schedule and also makes me accountable once I have made the commitment to attend a class. Chanda, the owner, is great. She works with me and has personalized my training based on my physical needs and goals. Working out at the IMX Pilates Studio makes me feel stronger in both body and mind. I can’t imagine a better place to be.

I love IMX. I have been working out here for over 2 years. I previously was a member at several other gyms in town and IMX does not compare. The instructors are the best I have encountered. As a busy woman/​mom I appreciate being able to sign up for classes online– You know you have a spot in the class and can come just as class begins– no showing up an hour before class to reserve a spot or bike. I make time in my day to get to classes because I know I will get a great workout and feel stronger and better when I leave. Thank you IMX!

If you are looking to exercise IMX Santa Barbara is the place to come. The classes are great, the staff are great, the clients are fantastic and IMX Santa Barbara makes you feel tall again! I feel great when I come here and want to come back! I have lost 20lbs since I began coming here. The staff are very helpful and know how accommodate injuries to get you working at your BEST!
Thank you Chanda and all the staff!

AMAZING and highly addictive! If I miss a few days, by body starts to crave it. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to IMX.

I have been going to IMX for the last 2 years. There is a excellent mix of classes from traditional mat pilates to reformer to TRX (awesome workout) to spin. There are even organized workouts outside of class to keep things fun during summer (biking/​stadiums). The instructors are all very involved with the students to optimize form and technique. It’s a great and fun group. I feel in the best shape of my life and I’m pushing 40!!!

Awesome work out this morning! Luv this studio!
I’ve been working out with Chanda and her wonderful team of ladies since January 2010 and so far I’ve lost 25 pounds. It’s not the most rapid weightloss in history but it’s been steady and consistent and I haven’t really changed any other habits either. Spinning is great and burns up so many calories in one quick class. and the Pilates and TRX classes are amazing for building up lean muscle mass. I feel great everytime I leave the studio.

The staff at IMX is very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Small class size
is great because everyone gets the attention we need. Especially useful if you have any physical problems as they are careful to work with you so you don’t hurt anything. I had been going to a larger less expensive gym before IMX. I wasn’t seeing much of a difference in my body, until I came to IMX and learned how to do pilates correctly. Now I feel healthy and strong.

I have been a member of IMX for over a year, and it has completely changed my body!
I am so flexible, and no longer have lower back problems. The best workout for a long and lean body! There are also so many cool classes including Cardio Xerciser, which combines spinning with pilates…
Def. give this place a try!
